The unusually heavy losses resulting
from the forest fires In the Adirondack
egion this year can hardly fail to re
vive public interest iu the necessity for
better forest control and a more gen
eral education of the people in for
estry" As a result of the drought
which prevailed throughout April and
May thousands o acres of the bes ;
of the Adirondack reserves were burn
ed and many summer homes and re
sorts were FwepT away. While th (
esson was a very costly one , runniuj
ip into the millions , the country doubt
ess stood in need of it. History shows
what is confirmed by science , that :
arge area of forest land is essentia
: o civilization. A treeless country
means a barren cotmtry , and a barren
ountry never attracts a progressive
people. It is certain to be inhabited
by the vagrant and non-producing
classes. There must be forests and
patches of woodland to retain mois
ture , to prevent droughts and to create
a soil for future agriculture. In Eu-
r * tritsf - * J * * * S > - * * * . ; "
rope of course , where the necessity
feT forest preservation Is more univer
sally recognized , an effort is made to
keep the proportion of woodland at
about one-fourth of the area of the
country , which is regarded as the cor
rect proportion to sustain the activities
of civilization and the welfare of the
people. Not only large forests , but
scattered woodlands must be preserv
ed. The hitter not only tend to check
evaporation and hold bodies of mois
ture for slow percolation Into springs ,
brooks and small rivers , to be fed
slowly to the surrounding country , but
they break the force of the wind , de
creasing the probability of hurricanes
and cyclones. The West has suffered
much more than the East from forest
fires , for the reason that the Western
forests are made up largely of resinous
woods. The West therefore should co
operate with the East in bringing
about more adequate systems of for
est control. Forest fires will not wait
for special sessions of State Legisla
tures , The force of forest wardens
in the timber States should be greatly
increased. There should be State and
Federal co-operation in the establish
ment of forestry schools all over the
country , such as exist in Austria , Eng
land , France , Italy , China and Japan.
This will cost the States a larger out
lay for forest preservation , but it
would be trifling compared to the mil
lions that have recently been swept
away in the Adirondack region.

SOLDIEJRS' STORIES.
ENTERTAINING REMINISCENCES
OF THE WAR.
\3raphic Account of Stirring Scenes
Witnessed on the Battlefield and in
Camp Veterans of the Rebellion Re
cite Experiences of Thrilling Nature.
General Crook , when the Army of
West Virginia knew him. said the
D. ctoic " * not wear a long beard. lie
wore a Kill beard , but it was short
ind trim , and not at all like the long.
i'ull beard he wore in the last twenty
years of his life. He was a regular
army officer , 'Ju years of age , when the
war came in 1SG1. and took command
it the Thirty-Sixth Ohio wi h the
prestige of a man who had seen hard
-.or vice and knew what h ? was about.
"He certainly lived up to this rep
utation. because no brjg.idt * or division
Oi corps in the Union army was mure
active than the one he happened to
command. Officers and men , however ,
like him , as did people generally ,
including John T. Raymond , who tar
ried a theatrical company to the bord-
irs of the military district commanded
by Crook.
"I remember Crook with his short
beard , but I remember him better with
the long , full beard he wore in the
70s and 80s. I was with him at the
battle of the Rosebud , June 17 , 1870 ,
ind remember on that day ho wore
his beard in two braids , one hanging
down on either side of his face like
the braids of a girl's hair. This did
not give him a grotesque appearance
but contributed in some way to em
phasize his unique individuality. It
did not suggest femininity or eccentric
ity , but rather a rugged sort of
independence and a dignified aloftness
that had marked influence over our
officers and men.
"He was the center of a notable
group that day and was the coolest
man on the field. His chief of staff ,
Major Nickersou , wore a long black
bnard and was a more picturesque
figure than Cook himself. While the
battle was in progress , General Crook
d < sired To send a personal message
of vital importance to Major Royal
of the Third cavalry , who , with one
battalion of his regiment , was on one
Hank enfilading the Indian line. Ma
jor Nickerson carried the message and
rode at a gallop along the Indian
front , black horse and black-bearded
rider making a picture that no one at
Rosebud ever forgot.
"Bullets from Indian rifles struck
the ground in front raising a little
dust like smoke from a puff ball , but
on went rider and horse , we about

soldiers of the distant bat allen
cheering him on. The message was
delivered , and Royal knew what ho
was to do when Major Lawton. com
manding another battalion , and Major
Anson Mills , commanding a third ,
proceeded to carry out their orders.
"Mills swept toward the other flank ,
went up a ravine , and burst suddenly
on the Indians , breaking their line.
To strengthen Mills for this attack.
Crook sent with him nearly all the
cavalry on escort duty , and taking
advantage of this , the Indians near
pressed in between the General and the
battalion operating under Mills. The
latter , however , divined the purpose
of the Indians , and sent one of his
companies to cut off the raiders , and
Crook himself , moved quickly up to the
battalion in motion. The result was
defeat for the Indians and a victory
for the quiet soldier who wore his
beard in I/raids , "
"Some men , " said the Captain , "re
member the incidents of battle and for
get the anecdotes of their associates.
Others remember the anecdotes and
forget the battle Incidents , but Judge
I. 8. Anderson of the Fifth Wisconsin
remembers Incidents and anecdotes.
Some of the stories , at our regimental
reunions , are worth repeating. Speak
ing of General Hancock , remind d
him of Hugh O'NIel , of ready wit.
Hugh was coming into camp with hav
ersack and arms full , of sweet pota
toes and garden vegetables , and. in
sneaking past Hancock's headquarters ,
was confronted by Hancock himself.
"The General asked Hugh where he
jot the vegetables , and pressed the
question ivi such away that Hutrh
became rattled , and , In answer to the ,
peremptory 'Where did you get them.
sir ? stammered : "I drawed tnem. '
rhereupon Hancock thundered :
Don't answer me that way , sir.
Fhere has not been a vegetable ration
Issued to this command for a month.
How did you draw them ? Hugh was
limself again , and answered meekly :
Why by their tops , General. " He was
permitted to go his way.
"This story was probably common
property In the army of the otomac.
> ut I had forgotten It and Anderson
lad remembered It. Here Is another ,
pertaining to an adventure of Ander
son himself. After the battle of Get-
ysburg , in pursuit of Lee , troops were
sent over South Mountain. A storm
rame on and It was very dangerous
narching in the darkness and among
precipices and gulliea. Eate at night
lie column was halted simply because
t could not go forward , and the tired ]
nea dropped down along the roadside
infl under the trees , too tired , most
) f. teem , to take cognizance , of the
leavy rain that was falling.
"Anderson noticed a little distance in
"rout a good-sized fire with a log be-
ore It on whic i were seated two or
hree figures with their rubber ponchos
kver their heads and with their feet
'
o the fire. He went toward the fire
ind the men on the log sat like
ics , the ra'in beating on the rubber'
> lankets. Not one of them made a
novement to indicate that he was
, alive. Anderson asked if he migh
make coffee at the fire , and one ol
the m ° n , without turning his head
said 'y s. '
I "Soon after , an artilleryman came u [
I to make coffee and he proceeded tc
j make it without asking permission
I He was in a state of mind over the
difficulty his company had met with
. in bringing forward the guns , and he
j swore at all the officers from General
, Meade down , for bringing men into
such a place , and pronounced them all
, thick-headed blunderers. In the midst
of the tirade , one of the men on the lot ;
threw back his > poncho , and General
j Russell in command of the division
. said , 'Orderly , take that fellow out
j and tie him up by the thumbs until
he cot 1.3 oft' . '
"The artilleryman was thunderstruck
Anderson looked for the immediate
arrest of the swearer. Just then the
poncho of the other silent figure was
thrown back , and General Sedgwick ,
commanding the corps , said , 'Oh , poofli.
Russell , let the man alone. I don't
know but what he is more , than half
right , anyway. ' Ttlie artilleryman made
his coffee , but he was very quite about
it , and when he returned to his bat
tery he explained that he had had a
very interesting conference with the
General commanding the corps , and the
General commanding the division , and
that the corps commander agreed with
him as to the movement over the
mountains.
"At one of the reunions of the Fifth
Wisconsin , T. C. Ryan of company G
told a story to illustrate the character
of the private soldier. On a night
march just before the evacuation of
Yorktown.the darkness was almost im
penetrable , and the mud was , in places
knee deep. The men splashed along
the road covered with water. Stewart
J. Fay was marching at the side of
Ryan when the man in front of him
stepped in a hole and fell down. Fay
fell forward on top of him and tlhe
man began to swear , calling Fay all
sorts of names for his carelessness.
Instead of gertlngfi angry , Fay replied ,
"You blamed hog , you don't want all

The First Bull Run Battle.
The first great battle of the war ,
as every child knows , Avas most disas
trous to the Union forces. For some
time the news of so serious a reverse
had the most depressing effect on the
North , and it brought corresponding
elation to the people of the South.
But looking back at it from this dis
tance , we can laugh at the many
funny incidents ot which the famous
battle was so prolific.
A zouave , who had been in the Bull
Run fight , was recognized some days
afterwards near hte old haunts at
tVashlFigtoh ' FarkeT New York.
"What in thunder are you doing
here ? " askrd an acquaintance who rec
ognized the man "Have you got a
furlough ? "
"Naw. nary a furlough , " replied the
zouave. "I got word to retreat in a
big hurry at Bull Run. and , as no one
didn't give me no order to halt , I've
kep' on retreating , till I struck home ;
and now I'm goln' to stay here till I
get my wind back and my nerves set
tled again , " and no doubt he kept his
word.
A pack of cards saved the life of a
soldier of the First Connecticut at

DESERTIONS FROM THE NAVY.
Number is Very Small anil lln De
creased in Recent Years.
"The percentage of desertions in our
navy is not greater than 16 per cent
It is not true that they are whole
sale desertions from the United States
navy. There are desertions , of course ,
but , judging by recent reports , the
matter has been largely overdrawn
and exaggerated. The actual percent
age of desertions from the navy Is
not as great now as it was in IdOl ,
1S92 and 1893. Statistics show tlisit
desertions were heaviest in those three
years. It was never known why. "
This is the statement of Surgeon
Andrew M. Moore , United States navy ,
in the New Orleans Picayune.
"The recruiting service , " continued
Dr. Moore , "is now better systematiz
ed , better conducted and with better
results than it ever was before.
About S7/j per cent of the recruits
are American-born young meu , which
is most satisfactory , because for many
years a large percentage of the naval
recruits were of foreign birth. The
recruiting office in Chicago , which \ \ as
established iu 1897 , has 110 trouble
in securing all the recruits needed. Up
to the la t Congress the navy required
only 28,000 enlisted men and 7,500 ma
rines. The last Congress increased
the enlistment 3,000. Altogether , our
navy at its full strength numbers 3S.-
500 enlisted men of the various grades ,
( including marines.
"Many good recruits come from the
interior. They are usually procured by
writing letters to postmasters for the
names of young men the postmaster
thinks would like to see naval service.
When replies are received from these
letters others of the same sort are
mailed to the addresses furnished , and ,
in turn , other letters are sent out to
these replies.
"Not only are the lists kept con
stantly full , but we are steadily rais
ing the standard of enlistment. I
think the percentage of desertion from
the United States navy Is much great
er than from foreign navies , whieli is
probably due to the fact that in our
sen-ice better opportunities are offered
to ambitious young men. The enlist
ed men of the navy see a great deal
of the world , and. American young
men , being quick to s-ej advantages , have
greater temptations to desert than iu
European navies , for in any of those
he would have few places to go in
which he could better himself. Our
men are better fed and better cared for
than in any foreign navy. We have
not so large a navy. England Las
probably 125,000 enlisted men , but we
'lo not need so great a navy. "

ABOUT COMPLEXIONS.
Food Makes Them Good or B id.
Saturate the lui'iiau body with s
jofTee and it will in time show in the-
complexion of the coffee drinker.
This is caused by the action of coffee-
on the liver , thus throwing part of the-
bile into the blood. Coffee complexions-
are sallow and muddy and will stay that
way until coffee is given up entirely.
The sure wny to recover rosy- cheeks _
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink ;
Postum Food Coffee , which makes red
hlood. "I had been for more than 20 *
years an inveterate coffee drinker and
it is absolutely true that I had so completely -
pletely saturated myself with this drujf
that my complexion toward the last be
came perfectly yellow and every nerve
and fiber in me was affected by the
drugs in coffee.
"For days at a time I had been com
pelled to keep to my bed on account of
hervous headache and stomach trouble
and medicines did not give me any relief. ,
I had never consulted a physician in regard - f
gard to my headaches and terrible complexion - *
plexion and I only found oat the cause'
of them after I commenced the use of' '
Postam , which became known to me !
(
through Grape-Nuts. We nil Hked the
food Grape-Nuts , and it helped us , so we-
thought Postum must certainly have
merit and we concluded to try h. We
found it so delicious that we continued *
the use altogether , although I never ex
pected it to help my health.
"After a few mon-ths my headaches
were all gone and my complexion had-
cleared wonderfully , then I knew that
my troubles had been caused by coffee
and had been cured when I left off cof
fee and drank Postum in its place. "

Postum will change the blood of any
coffee drinker and rosy cheeks and
health take the place of a yellow skio
and disease.
